Twitter — A FFXIV RP character — Kaien Yuzuka
Into the void? A voidsent yourself? Cultist? OR a BLACK MAGE?: DM me please. Let's talk about some stuff. We can have some fun with this since he's got a pretty intense stance on illegal magicks.
COMMON HOOKS 001 Kaien is more than willing to talk about music or the arts. Being a Bard himself, he is quite proud of his work. 002 Kaien is more than willing to discuss his jobs and other forms of work both past and present. He loves sharing stories or trading battle songs. Especially if it includes a mug of ale or better. 003 Kaien will be MORE than willing to talk about his life if given the right timing and conversationalist. He's a pretty open book about some things... others you will have to rip it from his cold dead hands in order to hear from him. 004 He is also always looking for more work, playsets, or finding jobs that may interest him so approach if you'd like a friendly 'bard' to help you along the way~ 005 Want to spar? If you're interesting enough he's more than happy to go a few rounds for some work.
RARE HOOKS
006 You an assassin?: You've likely heard of him then. The bard who plays the harmless butterfly. A constant smile on his face that often hid the plethora of weaponry upon his body. You know him, he knows you likely too. Friends?~ 007 Yakuza or Ex-Yakuza? You've likely heard of this one in whispers inside the families of Kugane. A moon to the sun of the Yoshidori Family. He purposely was unmarked and untattooed beyond a few hidden inks on his body, given that he was often the one dealing with the worst of the worst. A silent enforcer and well known for his ruthlessness in both information gathering, and torture.
--------
The Yoshidori Family was a Mateus FC that folded a few years ago, ICly, they failed to keep one of the main sons alive and their leader killed themselves while disbanding the company.
-------- 008 Got Aethersight?: Kaien is often trailed by what appears to be multiple shadows in his step. All of which seem to be coming from that leather-bound dagger at his side. If you see them... they definitely see you.
YOU A CULTIST? A BLACK MAGE? A VOID MAGE OR SOME KIND OF VOID-CHAR?Let's talk FER REAL. Kaien has a huge amount of backstory tied into losing his wife and unborn child to the void. So...

Story so far
A rather friendly bard with an interesting past, and future ahead of him. His pride as apparent as his smile, the Raen often found throwing compliments towards others as if it was his job...At the ripe age of 18, Kaien left the mountainous region of Yanxia and headed to Kugane to survive. Living as a street rat, beggar, and thief while doing whatever it took to live. All it took was one 'failed' job to be sent on a boat to Eorzea, or perhaps on purpose?
Rejected by Gridania due to both the recent Calamity and their xenophobic background at the time, he sought refuge in the forests of The Shroud, surviving only from the hunting lessons by his father, and the herbal lessons by his mother. Or perhaps he was found by someone? Something?Regardless, as he grew older, he eventually found his way back to a small Yakuza family that was looking for him, hearing rumours of a horned demon in the foggy forests. The Yoshidori Family. An old friend was their leader, who often was with Kaien in the streets of Kugane. The reunited friendship struck gold, and the eight of them grew to twelve in no time. Sadly... fate spun a different way, and when his friend left this world, Kaien decided to leave the underground as well, coming back to Eorzea and searching for redacted again.As fate struck again, he met a strange duo in Ul'dah one day, he was busking and playing music. Dhini and H'kaw, upon learning of his travelling ways, invited him to a Caravan of travellers, partially like-minded individuals who all seemed to come from somewhere, attempting to find a home for at least a while. And he did, truly, until the twine of fate twisted and it disappeared between his fingertips.
Deciding to travel once more, Kaien saught out the world, working at different taverns for gil, taking jobs, meeting friends and experiencing every ilm of flavours this world had to offer. Which eventually led him to the Azure Flames, a bar, cafe, adventurers Free Company that seemed to have as many odds as ends. Being bestowed the name 'Pineapple Bard' by the enigmatic Foxa, Kaien took his job and title in stride, revelling in the opportunity to exist in a community behind his mask. While on a mission with the Azure Flames, a black obsidian ritual dagger was gifted to Kaien alone, attuning to him instantly and causing a burn to anyone else who tried to claim it. This spurred him into attempting to discover who, or what, he was.Sadly, fate spun a twist towards him again, causing him to head East to the Golmore Jungles with a mind to never return. To live happily, and complete... which did not last long... loss... loss drove him to go deeper into the Jungles, to fight against the native tribes there in pure emptiness with the sole purpose of death at the end. Which came to him with a slice to the back of his neck from a dagger.... or so he thought.Awakening on the mud-soaked ridge of a swamp just near the entrance towards the deep jungles, Kaien was stirred from his death-like slumber by a masked Raen, who promised him that this was not his end.Now, you can spot the man carrying a leather-bound dagger at his thigh always. Distinctly ornate with a feather dangling from the bottom, equally as flashy as his attire. Apparently, it's adamantite and painted as black as the night itself. A witch hunter's weapon that sheened like a mirror. Kaien is trying once more to see where this line of fate was trying to push him towards. Did his story end at the banks of the swamp? Or is there more to this ballad that is yet to be seen?
